I’ll use this post to list some resources. I’ll update this on the fly – check back now and then. Or leave your own in comments.

Noting for all I just sent Sam a new version (v1.5) of the Excel “Election Night Electoral Vote” tracking spreadsheet – it has some bug fixes and better formatting compared to the older (v1.1) version that he was offering for download. He says he can make it live in about an hour.

In the meantime, the latest version is available on my server at the link above (click “ThatSeattleGuy”).
